Question

Gastric juice consists of pepsin.

Type 1 for true and 0 for false.

Answer 1

• Gastric juice consists of pepsin, renin, hydrochloric acid, and mucus.
• Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that acts to digest proteins found in ingested food.
• It is secreted by specialized cells in the stomach called chief cells.
  
• A low pH (1.5 to 2) in the stomach due to hydrochloric acid activates pepsin.
